Hovering around 5.4.

After 30 votes, I looked like I might get a new personal best. Now, after nearly a full point drop, I might make top 20.

I was flirting with a 5.22 for awhile, but this is still on pace for a personal best. Top 20? I'm hoping to squeeze into the top 50%.

Oof, whenever I post here my score drops! I must be getting a lot of 1's and 2's today. :(

Are we not allowed to predict how certain photos will place...cause I know one will ribbon...but don't want to get in trouble...I'm pretty sure we can't do this so I've answered my own question...then why am I still going to post it...cause I sent the time to type it and that would be a waste of my life.

Posting our running vote totals isn't a waste of time?

Hm, there's an outside chance I might get in the top 100 in this challenge..

I also think I might make the top 100 if some people are dq'd.

Ooooh, I'm up to 5.6!

Mine has been on an upward trend since noon from a low of 5.2 to almost 5.5. I doubt I'll see the 6.1 I thought it'd be...
06/14/2006 09:21:54 PM · #64
I keep teetering back and forth in and out of 5.6 all day.

I just rated everything in the challange...I was in a very giving mood so check your scores and I think you will be pleasently supprised.

My score is depressing, but it was still a kick to take the photo. At least I will have the memory of the shoot!

My score started out over 6, slowly declined down to 5.3 then today managed to climb to 5.72 before it tumbled to 5.67 in just two votes.

Someone did pick it as a favorite which is always nice, that always makes it seem special.

Usually in a thread like this there are folks posting 6's and 7's. I don't see them here. I'm wondering if this challenge will be scored lower than usual. Wonder if 6.5 will place in top 10.

Just an observation, most photos seem to show indulgence "in the small." Very few indulgence "in the large" photos. More venial sins and pleasures than conspicuous consumption. I find that interesting.

As was said in a different thread, sins and pleasures to some are indulgences to others

My goal is to finish over a 5.3 and i'm right there. I've gone from a 5.18 up.

Side note. I think it would be awesome if there was a time elapsed chart where you could view your score on a line graph.

Taking a look at the last 15 Basic Challenges with under 160 entries, the lowest top 10 scores ranged from 6.0+ to 6.5+, with one exception that was 6.7+. So, if you score in the high 6.5s, you have a 93% chance of being on the front page on this challenge.

The last 9 Basic Challenges with under 125 entries had the same range and exception, with a 88.9% chance of a top 10 with a high 6.5 score.

Agreed, but the challenge description says we should photograph ". . .unnecessary luxury. Excess is the name of the game!" I don't find many of the enties meeting that criteria. Unnecessary, yes - luxury, very few.
